Palette Analysis
John Graham-Gilbert keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from John Graham-Gilbert carry the compositional weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Only 5.9% is devoted to #C27521, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. In the context of John Graham-Gilbert's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
